The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 588: Chapter 484, Zombie King Chapter 588: Chapter 484, Zombie King [Skeleton Grand Boxer]

[Level: 18]

[Attributes: Constitution 48, Strength 45, Agility 50, Intelligence 14, Perception 31, Charm 5.]

[Characteristics: Hollow Skeleton, Intermediate Soul, Qi, Vajra Soul, Ethereal Body.]

[Expertise: Unarmored Mastery (Master), Unarmored Movement (Master), Tiger Finger Mastery (Master), Fist Weapon Mastery (Advanced).]

[Abilities: Shock Fist, Light Body Fall, Capture Flying Arrow, Gale Step, Penetrating Force, Domain Fist Intent.]

[Vajra Soul]: The soul is steadfast and unaffected by any psychic or soul type effects or influences.

[Ethereal Body]: Can render one’s own actions invisible.

[Gale Step]: Breakthrough abnormal terrain, rapidly closing in on the target.

[Penetrating Force]: The qi force generated from attacks can penetrate into the enemy’s body, ignoring exterior defenses and attacking the organs.

[Domain Fist Intent]: The mastery of physical skills has reached a sublime standard, creating a personal domain around you, where fist intent is sharp and momentum unending.

…

Wu Heng looked at the skeleton’s attributes and slightly frowned.

The name had changed to Great Fist Master.

A single word’s difference symbolizes the gap between Level 17 and Level 18.

With attributes, Constitution reached 48 points, Strength 45, Agility 50.

It indeed arrived at a terrifying level.

No wonder it was so unstoppable then—these attributes were not something many could contend with.

Charm automatically falls after the transformation into a skeleton, nothing much to speak of.

A Perception of 31 is still decent.

But an Intelligence of only 14 points is way too low compared to the previous three attributes.

Even lower than some low-level magic professions.

“No wonder you went straight into battle, your intelligence isn’t up to par,” he said.

In terms of expertise and abilities, it had several more than the previous Fist Master.

Each one of them was not bad.

Especially [Penetrating Force] and [Domain Fist Intent].

[Penetrating Force] can drive the qi force into the enemy’s body, ignoring exterior defenses.

This means, it doesn’t matter whether you wear armor or not.

You can be beaten to death outright.

[Domain Fist Intent] forms a personal domain in the vicinity, with sharp fist intent and relentless momentum.

This should mean that the attack power is stronger within the domain.

When converting to a Level 18 Skeleton Prophet,

the other party also had a domain ability that could completely foresee enemy attacks within their domain.

Different from the Great Fist Master, this domain ability should be a Level 18 feature.

“Xi Ligui said that at Level 18, a Fist Master awakens to an immortal body, endless strength, and the appearance no longer ages,”

“It seems that some abilities are lost in the transformation into a skeleton.”

No matter.

Skeletons inherently lack the concept of strength, let alone having an endless supply.

And now, with this appearance, there’s even less to say about aging.

Wu Heng recalled his original name and said, “From now on, you are still called Kai Xiu, take this trash outside.”

The skeleton walked out, rolled up the straw mat and the fallen flesh, and threw it outside.

Mini’s voice came from within the room.

Wu Heng went into the room to eat and rest.

…

The next day, at the harbor.

On the ships flying the Association’s and Gold and Silver Island’s flags,

Wu Heng instructed Philippa, “You’re only going to drive away some pirates, come back as soon as you’re done, and don’t wander off to drink again.”

Philippa nodded, “Got it, I’ll bring back a few pirates’ heads for you.”

Millicent also said, “I’ve prepared food for several days; be sure to eat on time at sea. When you see pirates, be careful, safety comes first.”

“I know, you’ve told me plenty of times,” Philippa replied, annoyed.

At this moment, Xi Ligui came over with three squad members.

“I’ve taken care of my side.”

“I don’t have anything else either,” Wu Heng nodded.

Xi Ligui declared, “Then let’s set sail, the weather is good today.”

Wu Heng glanced at Philippa, “Stay in touch at sea.”

“Understood.”

Several people got off the boat.

Leaving Philippa, the accompanying Association squad, and a large number of skeleton soldiers.

Then, under the watchful eyes of many residents and trade groups, the three ships slowly left the harbor.

Philippa stood on the side of the ship, grasping the ropes of the mast, head held high and chest out.

Enjoying the cheers of the crowd watching from the port.

Gradually drifting away.

“She doesn’t seem to be of a high level, is it really okay to assign her as the captain of the ship?” Xi Ligui whispered as she watched the departing vessel.

Philippa’s personality was a bit boisterous and seemingly unreliable at first glance.

However, the tasks entrusted to her were always completed quite well in the end.

“No problem, I have arranged for three level 15 pirate skeletons to control three ships, there shouldn’t be any issues,” Wu Heng said directly.

In sea battles, level isn’t that important.

Wu Heng would also use the radio to command Philippa’s movements.

“As long as you’ve arranged everything, that’s fine,” Xi Ligui didn’t say much more.

“Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

As the ship sailed into the distance,

they started to head back.

Xi Ligui got onto a carriage to return to the association.

Wu Heng also found a carriage, and after getting on, he said, “Millicent, I’ll take you back to the tavern.”

Millicent’s cheeks turned slightly red as she lifted her skirt and stepped into the carriage.

After the carriage door closed, Millicent called out softly, “Master.”

Wu Heng nodded.

He knocked on the carriage wall, and the carriage headed for the Conch Tavern.

…

After taking Millicent back, Wu Heng also returned to the mansion.

He went upstairs into the radio room.

From the Space Ring, he directly took out the Emerald Sand Table.

In the center of the luminous sand table, models of three ships bearing the Gold and Silver Island flag came into view.

Besides these, there were many other types of ships with different flags,

wandering the seas.

Wu Heng picked up the radio microphone, “Philippa, can you hear me?”

“Yes! Very clearly, it feels even clearer than that tool you gave me last time,” Philippa’s voice came through.

Wu Heng said, “Hmm, not feeling homesick yet, are you?”

“What kind of question is that? Sounds like I’m a baby missing its mother,” Philippa grumbled dissatisfied.

Wu Heng continued, “Proceed to the ‘Jasik Route’ and clear out the two groups of small pirate ships directly when you get there.”

“Understood, small pirate groups, I never even considered them a challenge,” Philippa responded.

“Hmm, be safe.”

“Wait for my good news.”

The two of them briefly chatted, and then Wu Heng hung the microphone back up.

The Skeleton Investigator was still arranged at the desk, ready to record any intelligence.

Exiting the radio room,

Wu Heng returned to his study.

After looking outside at the sky, he opened the boundary door and walked through.

…

Zombie World, the main road outside the train station.

Skeleton Flying Dragons swooped overhead.

Solid Iron Bullets rained down like a torrential downpour to the ground.

Amidst the roaring and the trembling of the ground, experience points also rapidly increased.

After the bombardment with iron bombs, the Skeleton Army began to advance down the road.

Annihilating the remaining zombies.

System prompts soon followed.

[Level increased to 17, Constitution +1, Intelligence +2, Charm +1.]

Finally reached level 17.

It was indeed quite difficult to level up.

Wu Heng opened the panel to see the experience required for level 18.

[Level: 17 (1327/265000).]

To reach level 18, two hundred sixty-five thousand experience points were needed.

Definitely not a small amount.

As the skeletons cleaned up the battlefield, the bodies of Evolved Zombies were thrown in front of them.

Time passed.

The number of Evolved Zombies had increased again.

There were at least five or six hundred in front of him now, significantly more than before.

The corpses were converted, and the Corpse Cores were collected.

Wu Heng led the Skeleton Army back.

Once back at the station,

Qi Hancai came over and said, “There are two things I want to tell you.”

“Go ahead!”

“One is that the headquarters has found a level four zombie they’ve named the Zombie King, and the second is Yahong’s sister has gotten the map location of the provincial military factory.”
